    In summary,
    AMBA = Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture
    AMBA is
    ⦁ open standard.
    ⦁ on chip interconnect specification.
    ⦁ defines the connection and management of functional blocks in System on Chips
    - In summary AMBA protocols define how functional blocks communicate with each other.

    example of a SOC design
    - AMBA is widely used on a range of ASIC and SoC parts like applications processors used in devices like
    ⦁ IoT subsystems
    ⦁ smartphones
    ⦁ networking SoC
    Why use AMBA ?

    ⦁ it enables efficient IP reuse
    ⦁ it offers flexibility to work in a range of SoCs
    ⦁ AMBA allows compatibility between IP components from different design teams or vendors.
    ⦁ It is widely implemented and supported throughout the semiconductor industry.
    Bus Interface Performance ?

    there are 2 main characteristics
    ⦁ Bandwidth: the rate of data across the interface. In a synchronous system, the maximum bandwidth = clock speed * width of the data bus.
    ⦁ Latency: the delay between the start and end of transaction. In a burst based system, the latency is dependent of the completion of the start transaction that the burst, depending of the relevance to the system.
    - The sufficiency of the interface will depend on how it can achieve the maximum bandwidth with zero latency.
